Yanked Into Greatness.

1t is a dangerous experiment to
place a young man of parts in a p0y
sition that is calculated to give him
the big head. If Riddleberger had
climbed upwards by his own efforts
and been score of years on the way
instead of being yanked up stairs by
Mohone, he would have been an Or
nament, instead of a disgrace, to the
Senate.

PROTECTING THE RRAKEMEN.
Tests of Car Couplings Made by Cap
tain MichaeIis.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Nov. Capt A. f. Michaelis,
commandant of the Kennebec Arsenal, is in
Troy. New York, this week, where he is EN-
ployed by railroad committee as a scientific
expert to test couplings for freight cars. Last
spring, owing to the large number of coup
lings in the market, and the demand for a
safe appliance which should not be brake
man killer. the several managements of 40, 900
miles of railway, including many of the
trunk lines running west. appointed COM
mittee to investigate and determine which
was the most valuable and safest coupling
under all conditions. They secured the SER
vices Of Capt. Michaelis, and, beginning last
June, the tests have been carried on, the
larger part of the time at Troy, the object
being to give the iron, as nearly as possible,
the same severe strain 1t would receive in
operation on the cars. Mr.. Michaelis will,
later on, conduct tests at Watertown Arsenal,
near Boston. Practical tests, the couplings
being attached to heavy trains on the rails,
have also been made under the superintend-
ence of the committee at Weehawken, N. j.,
and will be resumed this month. The link
and wire attachment has been discarded en-
tirely, and the vertical hook appliance will
undoubtedly receive the endorsement of the
committee There are four varieties of these
now under test, viz; the Janney, Barnes,
Thurmond and Bowling makes; one or more
OF these win probably be accepted. The
adoption of coupling by companies repre-
senting over 10000 miles of road means that
it will enter into general use throughout the
country, as it would be iEpracticable for
other roads to maintain another variety of
attachment on their cars.

hEwIrT's NEW BOSSES.
The Mayor of New York Down on the
Editors.

NEW YORK, NOV. Mayor Hewitt has
written letter advocating the election of
Col. Fellows as district attorney. He denies
that the committee is under boss rule and
says he doesn't know Of the existence Of any
political bosses in the city at present. He
says: 'But we have encountered another
new kind of boss, who has given me great
deal of unsought advice and large amount
of Unnecessary bulldozing. l refer to the
newspaper boss. Sitting in his editorial sane
tum like a brooding Buddah, he does not
hesitate to claim omniscience and endow
himse elf with onnipotence. The political
boss is responsible only to his party, while
the paper boss is responsible only to his own
pocket. He is as dangerous as he is despotic
and must be suppressed. Otherwise the
parties upon healthful existence of which
free goverement depends will be destroyed,
and voters will be compelled to choose be-
tween newspaper tickets instead of party
nominations"

MAINE AT CREEpMooR.
Efforts to Have a Crack Team to
Compete There.
Especial to the Press.1


AUGUSTA, Nov. IA strong effort will be
made by the expert rihemen of the Maine
militia to place team at Creedmoor next
season and they are already taking measures
to that end. At the recent State shoot in
this city. 1t was demonstrated that the mil
itia can produce some of the most skilled
rifemen in the country and Maine team
would make an excellent showing at the
Creedmoor range. A shoot for the selection
Of team will be held next season, and dur
ing the winter the men will be required to
practice continually. Capt. w. S. Choate,
Brigade Inspector of Rife Practice, and Mr..
]. A. Fairbanks, of Augusta, who won the
State badge for 1887 in the company team
match, have recently purchased two i'm
proved sights-the Remington and Bufiing-
ton-from Massachusetts,. The former is
equipped with spirit level which enables
the rifleman to hold his gun in a perfectly
plumb position, thus surmounting an obsta.
Gle which has given much trouble in long
range shooting. These two gentlemen have
been giving the sights trial on the State
range this week and are much pleased with
their operation.

Augusta, scoring 275 points each, has been
decided by Colonel Harrington in favor of
the Eastport team. The latter team made no
misses. and the Augusta team one miss in
seven shots. 1t is not known at present on
his decision, but it is presumed to be based
ON the fact that the State in 1885 adopted
Blunt's instructions on Rifle and Carbine

her militia in rife practice, which has not
